Tour Important Information

Tour price doesn't include Car-related fees, Admission of pay facilities and Meals. You only pay admission and meals on-site.


Car-related fees will be added to the tour price and informed before your booking.

Important message from the supplier

My guiding rate is 6,000 JPY hourly (up to 4 pax), and 7,000 JPY hourly (5 to 8 pax), and a Meet-up fee (Guide's transportation fee back and forth to the meeting spot) is 5,000 JPY (in Nagasaki city). I do not take the group that is more than 8 people.


For example, an 8-hour tour for up to 4 pax costs 48,000 JPY plus a Meet-up fee: 6,000 JPY, and my private car-related expenses: 4,000 JPY (including parking fee, tolls, and gas during the tour). So the total price is 58,000 JPY


Please remember you will pay for the admission of pay facilities and meals on-site. They are not including to the tour price that you paid on the web.


Up to 4 customers are accommodated in my private car (Toyota Prius, 5pax car), but more than 4 guests need to rent a suitable-sized rental car (6 to 10 pax) or hire a jumbo taxi (8 pax max) during the tour. The rental car and taxi costs vary depending on the conditions, so my published tour price doesn't include taxi and rental car costs. If you use my private car, you will pay 5,000 JPY (including the parking, toll road, and gas). If you use a rental car, I will inform the rental car-related price before booking.


After the negotiation of the tour, I will fix the car-related price and add this price to the published tour price so that you realize the total tour price before you book it.


You only pay for admission of pay facilities, and meals on-site.


My coverage areas are Nagasaki, Saga, and Fukuoka Prefectures, including the remote islands of Nagasaki Prefecture. But I live in near Omura city in Nagasaki Pref., so far places from my house cost more Meet-up fee (Guide's transportation back and forth to the meeting place).

Cancellation Policy

  • Free cancellation - 8 days prior to meeting time
  • 50% Refund - 3 to 7 days prior to meeting time
  • No Refund - Within 2 day(s) prior to meeting time

About Tour Guide Yukihiro (Hero)行博

Hello, everyone!! My name is Yukihiro, call me "HERO". I'm eager to introduce this unique country, Japan to foreign guests. I am not a professional interpreter. I have retired from Japan Ground Self-Defense Force(JGSDF=Japanese Army) on March 2018.


I have spent most of my career as a Army NCO(Non-commissioned officer) . My job experiences are only in the military, but there are variety of specialties, so I didn't feel boredom. I lived in many places all over Japan, such as Hokkaido 10years, Chiba 15years, Okinawa 17years and more places.


I am working for the half of month as a tour-conductor in Okinawa Japan. Rest of month, I live in Nagasaki Prefecture, and work as a Triple Lights interpreter tour guide.


I am registered as a Okinawa prefectural interpreter tour guide, but don't have a whole Japan area certification. So I am brushing my skill up to get it.


I speak English, and do basic Chinese conversation , no problem to guide you, not like a native though.

Reviews

The last 2 days of the 26 Martyrs trail

We are a group of friends who were exploring the trail of the 26 Japanese Christian Martyrs of Nagasaki (c1597) and Hero-san was our guide for the day. Hero-san worked hard even before our meet-up: he researched the trail from Japanese sources, walked the trail on his own, printed for us copies of his research, and then walked the trail with us on the day itself. Hero-san was committed, flexible and incredibly accommodating. Our joint exploration saw adaptations as we chased different leads. The tour ended at the historical departure spot of the 26 martyrs at Sonogi, right at sunset. We could not have ended the day better. Thank you once again Hero for an incredible tour and day!

A wonderfully interesting day in Nagasaki

Dear Hiro Aregato. Thank you for giving us such meaningful day in Nagasaki. Your stories about our joint Japanese-Dutch history in Dejima. About the catastrophy of the plutonium bomb and how you, the Japanese built up the future of peace are amazing. We had a great Udon lunch together.Your advice to see Mifuney Yama in fall was spot on. In short: we had a great time. We'll recommend you to our friends. Thanks and good bye
